Strock Enterprises is a preserved family farm and wedding venue in Mechanicsburg, PA, offering indoor and outdoor spaces for up to 300 guests. Couples choose it for its guest capacity, authentic rural setting, and charcoal-grilled catering options, including whole pig roasts.
As the owner, I’ve seen firsthand how our venue supports couples looking for a straightforward and flexible farm wedding space that’s grounded in local tradition and real hospitality.
Could you explain what Strock Enterprises is?
Strock Enterprises is a working family farm and event venue that has been in operation for over a century. It remains family-owned and is not surrounded by any commercial development or retail buildings. The setting is quiet, natural, and private.
Our venue features multiple indoor and outdoor spaces, giving you control over how your wedding is set up. Every part of the property reflects the land’s history and our family’s long-standing presence in the area.
How many guests can the venue accommodate?
We can host up to 300 guests in the same area. This includes both open-air and indoor sections. Our indoor rooms vary in size, so you can select one that fits your guest count properly. We also provide round tables with seating for 60.
Our layout is ideal for couples who need flexibility and room for movement. You won’t be forced into a single setup or space. We help you match your event needs to the right environment.
How does catering work at Strock Enterprises?
How We Prepare Food
All food is cooked on-site using our equipment.
We use custom-built charcoal roasters for every event.
Our staff is fully trained and works only for us—no outside vendors.
The menu includes whole pig roasts, pork chops, steaks, and marinated chicken breasts.
Recipes are handed down through our family and used at every wedding.
Our History with Catering
I grew up watching my father cook pigs raised right here on the farm.
He started in 1983 with a single roaster he built himself.
Today, we own 15 roasters and still use the same hands-on approach.
We cater both at our venue and off-site using a mobile trailer.
Couples trust us for food that’s freshly cooked and deeply rooted in family tradition.
What unique features does this venue offer that others in Mechanicsburg don’t?
There are no other venues in the area that combine indoor and outdoor flexibility with preserved farmland and in-house catering. You’re not dealing with a mall backdrop or noisy traffic nearby. What you get instead is a real farm space with local experience and a focused, small team.
We’re involved in every step. No part of our service is outsourced. The reviews we receive often mention our supportive staff and the ease of planning when working directly with us.
Can we use both indoor and outdoor areas for our event?
Yes. Many couples choose to host their ceremony outdoors and use one of the indoor rooms for the reception. This flexibility allows you to adjust based on weather or personal preference. Our setup also supports hybrid events that use both settings at the same time.
The variety of indoor rooms with different capacities makes it easier to design an event that feels personal. You’re not forced into one format or locked into one plan.
